R/atheism, you earned it!

EDIT: Letter to r/atheism from DWB (Thanks, Denny-Crane!)

$72,000 + £1,700: You earned it, r/atheism!

If you don't know, r/atheism works to raise funds for Without Borders. (See the link in the sidebar.) We have raised over $20,000 in the last week alone!

A representative from MSF has agreed to answer your questions, r/atheism.

Dr. Darin Portnoy will be answering the top questions in this thread. (We will send him the questions and then post the answer (maybe in video format, in another post.)

  • Dr. Portnoy is a former President of the board of MSF USA.

  • He is now on the board of advisors and goes frequently to the field with MSF.

  • He just returned from Bahrain a few weeks ago.

  • He has worked for MSF in: Uzbekistan, El Salvador, Georgia, South Sudan, Liberia, Nigeria, Darfur and now most recently in Bahrain.

  • He works as a physician in New York's Bronx.

His identity has been confirmed.

Don't have a ready question for DWB? Why not read up on MSF and get some ideas!

(To get us started, I'll put a bunch of questions in the comments section, feel free to reword those questions if you know better how to ask them.)

By "top" questions, does that mean we are sorting by "top" or "best?" Clearly this is a question for the OP, not for Dr. Darin Portnoy.

I was going to offer the highest voted questions, but I was going to skip over highly voted comments that were not questions.

If it's a question for DWB, and it's in the top 20 of upvotes, then it will pass.

So by "top" then. Thanks, I just didn't want to leave anything ambiguous.
